Columbia University Astrophysicists Warns of Massive Black Hole Collision - The Market Business

That’s what I call fatal attraction: two supermassive black holes are “dancing”, drawn together by each other’s humongous gravitational attraction, set for a collision that will likely send ripples through the very fabric of space-time.

Astrophysicists from Columbia University are saying that two closely orbiting supermassive black holes, which reside within the Virgo constellation, are much closer than they had previously thought. Only a “light week” apart (about 3.5 billion light years away from Earth), the scientist now warn that this collision will occur within the next 100,000 years.
